Kwangsl Campaign

The vigilance in Wuchow has been relaxed since the Cantonese recapture of Tengyuan. Motor-boats and tow- boats have resumed their usual services, plying between Wuchow-Yunghu-Teng- yuan, thus rendering it possible for rice, vegetables, fowls, fuel and other daily commodities from the surround- ing villages reach Wuchow. Conse quently, the prices of food-stuffs are gradually returning to normal rates.

As reported last week, a portion of General Lui Woon-yim's loyal troops who have been repeatedly attacked by the rebels under Li Chung-jen, are still holding the line between Watlam and Jungyuan. Reinforcements from the Goth and 81st Divisions under Generals Taoi Ting-kai and Chiang Kwong-net are being sent to co-operate with Gen- eral Lui's troops, via Shumchi, with the object of capturing Kweihaien, where the rebels have entrenched themselves.
